Abstract

We experienced a very rare case of leiomyoblstoma of the transverse mesocolon.<br> A 44-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of upper abdominal tumor which was found with abdominal ultrasound sonography at a physical checkup. Abdominal angiography showed tumor vessels and a tumor shadow fed by middle colic artery. Under a diagnosis of primary tumor arising in the transverse mesocolon, an operation was performed.<br> During operation the tumor arising from the transverse mesocolon was found in the bursa omentalis. To remove the tumor, a partial resection of the transverse mesocolon and greater omentum was performed. The resected tumor was 7×6×6cm in size and 350g in weight. In the cross section, hemorrhagic necrosis was contained. Histological diagnosis was leiomyoblastoma of the transverse mesocolon.<br> He has been doing well 10 months after the operation without any symptoms or signs of recurrence.<br> We report this case with some additional discussion on the related literature.
